Bug Description
In update-notifier's tooltip: "There are 1 post-update informations available!"
Firstly, if there's only one, please use the singular.
Secondly, "informations" isn't really a word; "information" is a mass concept,
and doesn't have a plural. This would read awkwardly in the singular, too. I
suggest:
"There is 1 item of post-update information available!"
"There are 2 items of post-update information available!"
To post a comment you must log in.
Thanks for your bugreport.
The strings is changed accordingly and uses ngettext() now. It's in the
repository and will be part of the next upload.
Cheers,
Michael
